Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd

One of Keaton’s most iconic and brilliantly-constructed short films, Cops was deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” by the United States Library of Congressand selected for preservation in their National Film Registry in 1997.

This film tells a complete story–more so than almost any other Chaplin short.

Safety Last!

The film was highly successful and critically hailed, and it cemented Lloyd’s status as a major figure in early motion pictures. It is still popular at revivals, and it is viewed today as one of the great film comedies.
